What can I make for dinner?
• I’m hungry, and I didn’t plan ahead
• I’m already home, not going out to the grocery store. I need to
make due with my current ingredients
• I see a boneless chicken breast…I’m in luck, it hasn’t spoiled yet
• Next step – Ovenbot’s mobile app

3. Try our 3&Go tool

the recipes that match

Breast display ingredients that will that bottle of white wine

5. Chicken Piccata, why didn’t I think of
that before?
Hold on, it says I only have 8 of the 9
pantry items needed
Ovenbot, how are you going to solve
this problem?

6. So this is the item I’m missing
- what is a caper?
Is it:
A. That small bottle in the back of
my refrigerator?
B. An illegal plot or enterprise,
especially one involving theft?

7. Unfortunately, it’s not A 
Am I going to get in trouble here?
Do I dare make Chicken Piccata without
capers?

8. What does this modify button mean? According to Ovenbot,
capers are considered
“optional”
If I keep drinking this
wine, I will have to
substitute Dry sherry
Good to know I have
options
But how do I KNOW
that this will still turn
out delicious?
